Here is the next thread lovelies!

@Liverpool19 no deffo yet hun you might not need to lol xxx

I realised after I sent that I meant to put on my second child 😂😂 fingers crossed I won’t need it yet 🤞🏼 Xx

Hi girls, how's everyone getting on?

Liverpool, how's the spotting? Any cramping? Is your test day tomorrow?

Becky, I've had the aching and feeling short of breath as well. Five more sleeps until your test!

Pony, much better to go with a clinic where you feel safe and they're professional. When are you thinking you will start your next round?

Star, thank you for the positive thoughts and confidence!

I've tested again this morning on an FRER, came up positive straight away, so I felt relieved. Cramps have mostly gone, just got some twinges and massive appetite. Not sure whether I should worry about no symptoms or just be relieved test is still positive. So hard to relax after two previous losses! Taking it one day at a time...

Sending positive thoughts to you all, and thanks for your support xxx

Hi is it ok to join? 2nd round of Ivf and I have had embryo transfer. Currently waiting to test next week and I'm really nervous. I have a bad feeling that it's not going to work again and were back to square one! Didn't manage to freeze any embryos so need to pay for the next round of Ivf. Anyone else in the same position?

Hi wombats sporting seems to of stopped yesterday 🤞🏼 Not really had many cramps. Only when I got in bed last night did I feel something when I was laying on my left side. Got a bit of lower back ache this morning other than that I’m ok!
I’m so happy your test is positive still that’s amazing news!! My test day is Friday! So just Gona try and relax until then 😂 xx

Well that lasted long. Looks like the blood is back. Not much but enough for me to notice it and be worried

@Liverpool19 the blood must be so stressful. Sorry it is back. It can happen - a friend I saw yesterday had heavy bleeding all through her pregnancy. But of course it is worrying.

@wombats yay on still having a second line. Looking hopeful.

Welcome @Lavmc 2WW is murder. There are a few ladies waiting for their tests. I'm between cycles. First one didn't work out so I am familiar with how crap that fills. Hope it works for you this time.

I have my appointment at the new clinic tomorrow afternoon. Typed up my previous cycle yesterday (doses, tests, results etc). What a journey. I can't believe I remembered to take all those different drugs at different times of day!

Hope everyone else is well @Aliona19 hope you are feeling ok

Xxx

Good luck for tomorrow jane I know my friend bled for a full two weeks and thought she miss carried 4 months later it turns out she was pregnant from that same bleed and didn’t have a clue! It’s not like its heavy it’s like red/pink/brown. Vile I know. Heads all over the place. Xx

@wombats only 4 sleeps to go now!!!! I was so tempted to test this morning but stopped myself as I'm only 5dp5dt. Also I have been feeling much more positive these past couple days, probably because the suns shining lol 😂 if I test early and it's negative that hope and positivity will be gone. I am still a little tempted to test Wednesday but we will see. It sounds like you have a reliable positive, which is amazing!!!! Have you had your beta yet.

@Lavmc welcome to the group! Which day is your test due next week? Good luck I know it's hard to be positive all of the time

@Liverpool19 Like you I have been getting some lower back twinges. How many days have you been spotting now?

Xxxxxx to you all

Friday, Saturday nothing yesterday really and it’s back today becky xx

@Liverpool19 I have read the spotting for a couple days is normal whilst implantation is going ahead. Have you rang your clinic for some reassurance? Is it light? Xxx

Yeah it’s light and it’s turned brown again. I spoke to them on Saturday and she just said as long as there’s no pain and not heavy not to worry 😳🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m absolutely shattered today but I duno if it’s just draining me worrying about it. I’ve just read that it can last 5-7 days, depending on where the egg wants to stay 😂 although that’s in common it’s not unheard of! Xx

@Liverpool19 It is completely understandable why your anxious, but I have a really good feeling for you Hun xxx

I hope it’s good news for both of us becky
Sorry I’ve been so consumed in my drama welcome to the group lavmc as you can see the TWW is utter hell for me. I hope it’s easier for you.
Hope everyone else is well. Xx

Congratulations wombats. Gosh Liverpool, you are being put through the mill. As you say though, good it's not bright red. Welcome Lavmc, fingers crossed for your test next week.

I think it might be over for me, I’ve had another clot, the clinic isn’t open until the morning now so I have no one to call. I’m not in any pain, just getting really light cramps like I had from the beginning. X

Thank you all for the kind wishes.

Liverpool, sorry the spotting is messing about. Ringing your clinic sounds like a good idea.

Becky, I reckon waiting to test is a good idea. 5dp5dt is too early for a positive, I think. For me also, an early positive has just brought more worry!

Jane, fab to be moving forward. Good luck tomorrow and let us know how you get on!

Lav, welcome and hope your stay here is short I've just transferred my first frozen embryo, we have one leg if this doesn't stick. Hoping it will be a sibling but far too soon to know.

I had a bit of a wobble today, on my feet all day and had a bit of cramping, seemed to get better wtb rest but later saw a few brown flecks on the loo roll when I wiped. Had a couple waves of massive nausea and some properly foul wind, though ate a dodgy curry last night. Otherwise no symptoms and fearing for the worst. Will test again in the morning and hopefull still be a strong positive. Anyone know whether I should ring my clinic? Was waiting for my official day (Weds) but perhaps need more progesterone? xxx

Liverpool it sucks to be in this position and our usual “oh don’t worry, bleeding can be normal” doesn’t help..there is nothing you can really do, even Going to hospital won’t help unfortunately. I am sorry you going through this hell. You have to be ready for the worst, but don’t give up just yet.. xx

Thanks everyone. The spotting is still that pinky/red/brown 😂 but the clot was very dark red. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks guys for all of the messages. Thanks janefx40 I'm starting to stay positive! Becky114 thank you very much, due to test on Saturday. How are you getting on? Thanks also liverpool19 fingers crossed for you too! Does anyone know how early you should start having symptoms? I don't feel any different right now 😞 hope you are all well xx

@Liverpool19 oh sweetie I am so very sorry you are going through this rollercoaster crap! Like @Aliona said, although it is true, that blood does not mean it is all over, it does worry us and plays on our mind massively. If you want to help yourself give in to whatever the result will be, I know it is hard...sending lots of love and hugs 🤞🙏🏻🌟✨❤️🌹😘

@ Janefx40 all the best for tomorrow sweetie! How exciting!! 😘

For all the ladies on 2 WW good luck to all of you and try not to drive yourselves up the wall with worries! I know we all want this so much!

Welcome to all the newbies!

@Minster how are you?

😘😘😘

Hi Ladies. Just after a bit of support and any good news stories with poor blasts. Back story... have one little boy (natural) at age 39. Now 41..... 3 MC (natural) and 2nd round of IVF just had average results. First round 8 eggs nothing to test / freeze. 2nd round 2 to freeze nothing to test. Desperate to do PGS but might not happen. The 2 to feeeze are C grade. Anyone have success with that grade? Now starting round 3....

Morning everyone, another day and more waiting 😩 It's raining here to which never lifts anyone's mood ☔️

@Liverpool19 and @wombats how are you both feeling today. Have been thinking if you both. @wombats how was your test this morning? Are you testing everyday?

@Lavmc, like you I have hardly had any symptoms, so I understand how worrying that is. I just wanna feel something that gives me hope that it's worked!

@May1205 - welcome to the group and good luck with your treatment.

Xxxx

may welcome to the group and good luck!
Thanks wombats & star
becky I’m feel slightly more positive. I think (touch wood) it’s cleared up 🤞🏼 How are you feeling? wombats everything ok today? Xx

Welcome, May. Sorry to hear about your recent cycles. Can't help with grading, I'm afraid, my clinic doesn't tell me the grades. is your clinic able to provide you with any success rates for your stats?

Becky, the waiting is absolute pants, isn't it? Just three more sleeps for you, I believe? How are you feeling?

Liverpool, glad your spotting has stopped. I haven't had anything since the bit with wiping last night. A few panicked trips to the loo for knicker watch but never anything but white there. Tested again this morning, blazing positive on FRER with test line darker than control, so feeling reassured. How are you today?
